The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!-Chapter 1146 - 719: Falling Out with Niu Ma (Part 2)

Chapter 1146: Chapter 719: Falling Out with Niu Ma (Part 2)

No matter if it’s due to the "Lucky Clown Card," Liu Zheng praised it.

"What old buddy? It was stolen by Niu Ma less than four months ago. I’ve had it for over a decade."

The Clown Box finally couldn’t resist complaining.

"Feelings aren’t about duration but depth. As a philosopher once said, ’I’ve married you for two years, but it’s not as enjoyable as two nights with my senior brother.’"

He defended himself.

"That’s not a philosopher, that’s a scoundrel, right?"

The Clown Box said speechlessly.

"Close enough, close enough."

He mumbled a couple of words and pressed the start button.

The sixth capsule disappeared and then reappeared, now white.

"Damn!"

Liu Zheng instinctively cursed.

"It’s not your fault, you did your best."

After cursing, he quickly comforted the "Lucky Clown Card."

"Can you stop interacting with my card like that? It’s creepy."

The Clown Box said with a disgusted look on its face.

"It’s the last time, let’s part in peace."

Liu Zheng casually replied, then twisted open the capsule.

As expected, 50 points.

Now he has 1050 points.

"Do you want to keep trying? Next time it’ll be 96 chances for a draw, you know? Although I’d love to see you lose your pants, I’m afraid you’ll freak out and throw my card in."

The Clown Box reminded.

All items received by the gashapon machine had to give it a share, but it couldn’t get everything it wanted either.

Liu Zheng didn’t say anything, just stared at the remaining capsules.

Only three capsules are left. If the super prize and lucky item aren’t in the same capsule, then next time his odds of getting something good are two-thirds.

"Box, can you hint to me if you put the lucky item into the super prize?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"Humph, I’m not as low as Niu Ma."

The Clown Box responded indirectly.

"Is the quality of the lucky item higher than the ’Lucky Clown Card’?"

He asked again.

If it’s an excellent quality lucky item, it’s still very valuable, not worse than two ordinary excellent items.

"You ask too many questions, half-breed. I’ve told you, I’m not a charity."

The Clown Box said.

"Okay, thanks, Brother He."

He politely said, then began to take stock of his remaining extraordinary items.

The equipment can’t be exchanged; even excellent-quality equipment can always be useful.

As for miscellaneous items, the quality is too low, and the high-quality ones like the "Giant Crescent-shaped Blood Gemstone" still have great use.

"Oh, it seems there’s another high-quality one."

Liu Zheng suddenly remembered and took out a pure gold card.

"Name: Chaos Club Membership Card"

"Type: Miscellaneous"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect: None"

"Remark: Courage, wisdom, health, happiness, everything you want is available."

"Can it be taken out of the instance: No"

Ever since he got this item, he seemed never to have taken it out.

"What are you up to?!"

The Clown Box shrieked deafeningly.

"Huh? I’m not up to anything."

Liu Zheng looked puzzled.

"Listen, don’t be impulsive. I don’t necessarily need you to continue drawing. Your minimum spend is enough, you can leave anytime, as long as you leave the ’Lucky Clown Card.’"

The Clown Box said nervously.

"Huh??"

"If you leave the card, I’ll make up a set of little soldiers for you, is that okay?"

The Clown Box thought he was dissatisfied with the conditions and said again.

"Huh???"

Liu Zheng scratched his head, increasingly confused.

"Fine, you’re ruthless, take the card. This time I admit defeat, but don’t let me see you again!"

The Clown Box said through gritted teeth.

"No, Brother He, what exactly are you talking about? I didn’t intend to take back the ’Lucky Clown Card.’"

He raised his voice.

If he lets the Clown Box keep adding to the offer, soon the entire Fun Blind Box House will be gifted to him.

"Then why did you take that thing out?"

The Clown Box pointed at the membership card.

"I’m just calculating what else can be exchanged for draw chances, remembered this high-quality and useless thing, so I took it out to have a look."

Liu Zheng shrugged and said.

"Do you know what this is?"

The Clown Box asked.

"It’s the Chaos Club Membership Card."

"You know it, and you’re still flashing it around?"

The Clown Box looked at him like a flasher.

"No one told me I couldn’t take it out."

Liu Zheng felt a bit aggrieved.

"Niu Ma didn’t tell you?"

"My big boss, maybe it doesn’t know I have this."

He thought about it and realized he hadn’t told Niu Ma about this.

"Then aren’t you worried about City Hall... oh right, you’re from the Bloody Restaurant. City Hall can’t control you."

The Clown Box realized halfway through its sentence.

"Anyway, don’t take this thing out to flaunt, and definitely don’t try to put it in the lottery machine. Got it?"

It said sternly.

"I got it, why are you shouting so loudly?"

Liu Zheng dug at his ear and put the membership card back into the System Space.

"Phew!"

Feeling the strange aura dissipate completely, the Clown Box let out a long breath.

"Kid, where did you come from? How do you have everything?"

It couldn’t help but ask.

"I’ve become a delivery guy at the Bloody Restaurant; it’s normal to have everything, isn’t it?"

"The Bloody Restaurant has everything, not you guys. Besides Niu Ma and you, every other delivery guy has been quite normal these past decades."

The Clown Box didn’t agree with his statement.

"Does Niu Ma introduce every newcomer to consume at your place?"

Liu Zheng heard the underlying implication.

"Hmph, how would it have the chance to steal my card otherwise?"

The Clown Box retorted unhappily.

"What did you do to make it decide to break up with you?"

He asked.

Although Niu Ma liked to con and deceive, it wouldn’t lose a long-term partner for a little gain.

"Probably because I instigated a delivery guy to use all his ’meat’ for the lottery. But frankly, this place is just another form of a casino. Encouraging people to bet everything at a casino is called professional ethics."

"It’s conned so many times without feeling anything, but suddenly repents after ruining one person? Isn’t that like pretending to be virtuous while being a prostitute?"

The Clown Box mocked.

"Maybe."

Liu Zheng responded noncommittally.

Is Niu Ma angry for this reason? Perhaps yes, perhaps no.

After all, its behavior is sometimes contradictory and unpredictable.

Guiding him to the Fun Blind Box House could be seen as leveraging his hand to repair relations between the Lucky Clown Card and the Clown Box, or as wanting him to empty the prize pool to vent again.

Liu Zheng stood in front of the lottery machine for a long time, finally taking out an octahedral dice.

"Name: Octahedral Dice (One-time use)"

"Type: Prop"

"Quality: Perfect"

"Effect: Resets player’s All Attributes to 50% to 200% of current All Attributes, excluding equipment and temporary enhancements."

"Note: Random 8 just for a f**king 8, damn it!"

"Can it be taken out of the instance: Yes"

Although it’s a Perfect item, the effect of the octahedral dice is quite underwhelming.

Firstly, to use the octahedral dice, you definitely need to pair it with items like the "Resentment Relics of Black Carp Dragon" and "Third-tier Golden Lotus Seed of Fortune" which greatly boost Luck Value, or else you wouldn’t dare to use it.

Secondly, even with items that greatly increase Luck Value, because the effect of the octahedral dice is based on current All Attributes, the later you use it, the better the effect.

It’s like many rare recovery-type props; once you hoard them, you hoard until the game is cleared, and Hell’s Game might not even have a concept of clearing.

So if you must use a Perfect item to exchange for remaining lottery chances, using the "octahedral dice" is definitely the most suitable.

And according to Liu Zheng’s estimate, the "octahedral dice" might not even fully exchange.

As the octahedral dice was put into the groove, the lottery machine played pleasant music.

"What’s this noise?"

He asked.

"Whenever you use an item of Perfect quality or higher to exchange for a lottery chance, this music will play. By the way, the same music plays if you use ’meat’ to exchange; care to try?"

The Clown Box urged.

"Forget it, using ’meat’ for a BGM, I’m not overflowing with it with nowhere to spend. Unless you let me use my own ’meat,’ that would be more likely."

"Then pretend I didn’t mention it."

The Clown Box retracted.

It’s not like those weaklings, who don’t care if it’s fresh or stinky as long as it’s ’meat’ they’ll eat it.

Liu Zheng withdrew his gaze and turned to the lottery machine’s counter. A string of numbers was clearly displayed.

"302."

"Just as I thought."

As he expected, the value of the "octahedral dice" among Perfect items isn’t very high.
